GR®49
From Saint-Raphaël (Var) to Rougon (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
The GR®49 is a wild and immersive trail linking the Var beaches of Saint-Raphaël to the peaks of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence at Rougon. This historic trail, once used by shepherds for transhumance, traverses contrasting landscapes ranging from the red rocks of the Esterel Massif to the limestone plateaux of the Verdon Gorge. The highlight is undoubtedly the crossing of the Verdon Gorge, offering breathtaking views of Europe's largest canyon. The endemic flora, including the extraordinary Verdon palm, and the diverse fauna — Egyptian vultures, kingfishers, beavers — make this trail a haven for nature lovers.
